How can I make an SVG code in Webflow adjust to the width and height specified in Webflow, rather than the size it was in Figma?

To make an SVG code in Webflow adjust to the width and height specified in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Upload the SVG code: In Webflow, navigate to the Designer, select the element where you want to use the SVG, and click the '+' button to add an image. Choose the 'Upload' option and select your SVG file.

  2. Set the width and height: After uploading the SVG, select it and click the 'Settings' icon. In the settings panel, you can now set the width and height values to adjust the size of the SVG. By default, Webflow sets the dimensions to match the original size of the uploaded SVG.

  3. Adjust aspect ratio: When you change the width or height values, Webflow may automatically adjust the aspect ratio of the SVG to maintain its proportions. If you want to disable this feature, uncheck the 'Maintain aspect ratio' checkbox in the settings panel.

  4. Responsive behavior: By default, SVG elements in Webflow are set to be responsive. This means that they will automatically resize based on the size of the container or the viewport. If you want to disable this behavior, you can uncheck the 'Responsive' checkbox in the settings panel.

  5. Preview and publish: After making the necessary adjustments, preview the website to see if the SVG code adjusts to the specified width and height. If it looks as desired, you can publish the website to make the changes live.

It's important to note that if the original SVG file was created in a design tool like Figma, it may have inline styling or fixed dimensions. In such cases, you may need to extract the SVG code from the design tool and manually modify the attributes (e.g., width and height) to make it fully adjustable in Webflow.

Now, you should be able to make the SVG code in Webflow adjust to the width and height specified in Webflow, ensuring your design looks consistent across different devices and screen sizes.
